Below is the death record of Calogera Falzone. Can anyone read the day the act was recorded. August ? 1878. The act before this was Aug 11th and the one after was Aug 19th.
Any help with the house number is also appreciated. Both are marked with a red ?# above the word.

senza = no number That makes sense. I was looking for a number or zero.
I know the acts are to be recorded daily. You shouldn't find an act recorded on the 12th and the next on the 10th. I am not referring to the date the event occured, but the date recorded.
I agree that the number ends with a 9. I just can't see the diece or venti. I know the person died between the 13 - 19 of August. The exact date isn't that important, I was just fustrated that I could match what I was seeing with the limited choices of calander dates. Thanks for looking.
